Trouble and Her Friends

The Paragons of Queer Speculative Fiction series preserves literature essential to gay creativity. India Carless, known as Trouble, successfully evaded the authorities until she left her hacking career and chose to manage a small network for an artist collective. Now her pseudonym has been stolen by someone who is using it for criminal hacking activities. So Trouble is back. Previously the quickest draw on the digital frontier, she has been summoned from retirement for a final battle. And it's lethal. In under a century, authorities enforce strict regulations on the internet's domain. It marks the end of the frontier. The trendy, noir explorers surviving through cleverness, courage, and narcotics, who linger in the digital realms of cyberspace's darkness, confront the limits of society. It's time to change or perish.
